Mr.. Beecher's Biography.

The Rev. Mr.. Halliday, Mr. Beecher's assistant
in Plymouth church, has Leen associated with Ly-
man Abbott, ID. d., in the preparation OF the bio
sraphy of the late Mr.. Beecher to which the great
preacher, previous to his DEATH largely contribu-
ted 1t was not proposed to have either Mr.. Hal
ilday or Mr.. Beccher's connection with the book
generally known. but the death of Mr.. Beecher has
removed the objection to the fact being made pub
lie and now the complete book will appear with
both Dr. Lyman Abbott's and Rev S. Il. Halliday S
name on the title page, who are better ftted to
write such work than any other living persons
They have also been assisted by corps of over
thirty eminent writer's Leonard Bacon, d. D., j.
g. W hitter and others, who have contributed re
lnlnlscences, etc. A Mr.. Beecher did not write a
line upon any autobiography of himself, but did
contribute to this work. the additional fact is APP
parent that DR.. Abbott's and Rev. Halliday's book
IS the nearest approach to an autobiography that
Mr. Beecher has left and with the array of talent
employed 1t looks as If we were to have biogra
phy which is worthy of the man, and will prove a
valuable addition to any library. Miss A. A.
Hicks Is canyassing Belfast for this book.

ORGANIZING A NEW PARTY.

The Industrial Convention nOw in seS-
sion IT Cincinnati, will try to organize q
national labor party that will also absorb
the Greeuback party. Henry GEoRGEhas
been present working for incorporating his
land theories into the platform. The con-
troll Of railroads and telegraphs by the
Government will also be q plank.
On the plank that railways and tele-
graphs should be controlled by the Gov
eminent a large following might in the
course OF a few years, be attracted from
many. classes of people, should railroad
abuses continue in spite of the recent legis-
lItion in Congress. But We expect abuses
to diminish under q wise ministratiOn of
the law. Yet a party protesting these
principles may do good indirectly, by
giving a warning to companies that do not
respect the rights of the people, a to what
they may expect it reforms are not brought
about. Self preservation will suggest to
them that justice is after all the best
policy.
Mr.. GEORGES land theory is one of the
planks would sink the whole platform, if
adopted. IL might prove popular among
the landleSs aud proPertyleSs class Of some
of our large cities. But the millions who
own land aud homes of their own would
spurn with contempt any innovation that
would throw the burden of taxation upon
them and free the mansion Of the million
aire and the store houses and plants of the
manufactures from all burden. 1t would
be reform in favor of the rich rather han
the poor.
